Dr. L. M. Birkhead
has;. been considered the best in American history—tolerance, liberty— social, political and religious-^the rights df minorities, and a decent re¬ spect for human personality, .
Therefore, it is my considered'judg¬ ment, (after a .careful survey of the gathering of the Fascist and anti- Semitic forc:ej;).:t'i.;?t Sinclair Lewis was no bpgcy-monger when he wrote "It Can't Happen. H,ere".. ..In. fact, he displayed keen; prophetic foresight and unusual social and .political in¬ sight. The things that his prognosti¬ cating and self-satisfied Vermont neighbors said could not happen in .-Vnierica are actually happening and there is serious question as to wlietHer, now that Fascism and anti ¦=¦ Semitism are. on the way,' thcy can be halted and suppressed. . \
A .general 'criticism has been made against Lewis's novel to the effect that the novelist did nothing but re¬ produce an American variety of Ger¬ man Hitlerism. If fascism (or Nazi¬ ism). comes to America, the critics say, it will be an American invention and it will not even have a Euro¬ pean iiame.
These critics have ov^r-lbgked two important facts. First, the significant truth that nian is ain imitative snimal and consequently Fascism is more or less the same thing .wherever, it has appeared.
The Fascist a;tid anti-Semitic move¬ ments in America arc imitating to a marked degree the European brands. For example, George W. Christians, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, com¬ mander-in-chief of the Crusader White Shirts, looks f6r the day When Americans wilL salute him with "Heil Christians". He is fond of referring to his White Shirts as ."Stprm Troopers". There are. many other imitations of European dictators, as we shall observe in onr survey of American Fascism. ¦
The other important fact generally over-looked is that these American. Fascists anil-anti-Semitic groups art aUMising--Euro;peau Nazi -literature in large quantities and are being i>ropa- gandizeilby and ^subsidized by numer-; ous European Nazi orgapizations, in- I eluding the Nazi Party in Germany. I niean that Nazi money is being used ; to make America Fascist and anti- Semitic
I have been amazed at the extent of the subsidies extended to propa- gand^ for Fascism and anti-Semitism ill the United States. Anyone who in¬ vestigates the matter will be likewise astounded. It is not difficult to dis¬ cover the activities of the nuhierous organizations and individuals which are carrying on for a reproduction in America of all that has happened in Europe under European dictatorships. First of all there are the organiza¬ tions and groups which are function¬ ing directly from Germany, Recently the "Peoples League fpr Germanism in Foreign Lands" (or, as it is fre¬ quently referred to in . the press.
"League of German^. Abroad") has been receiving wide publicity^ This 'organization, is trying desperately to promote Naziism aiiion^ the more than 10,00l),000 Germans who livein foreign lands; It- operates from Ber¬ lin and has been particularly.active in its efforts to propagandize the Ger¬ man population of 9,000,000 souls in America^ ,,It furnishes the most vi¬ cious sort pf. anti-Semitic "facts and figures" to American groups which are preaching, hatred of the Jews, For example, the Edmondsoh Economic Service, the ' Right Cause Publishing Company and the Defenders, of the Ciiristian Faith are among the Ameri¬ can beneficiaries of the "League of Germans Abroad".
The German Import. Book Com¬ pany. (27 Park' Place, New York City) imiwrta and distributes among the German-speaking population boojt^ of tlie anti-Semitic variety. My visit to tlie offices and store-rooms of this company convinced ¦ me of ¦ its very close Nazi connections.
The "World Service'' bulletins arc sent out regularly from Erfurt, Ger¬ many, to anti-Jewish'groupsand pub¬ lications. These bulletins are a fa¬ miliar sight to apyone who makes the rounds 'of American Fascist,groups. Thcy are published in three langiiages and do nptconcealthe fact that they seek nbt profits but rather the "en¬ lightenment of iil-infbrmed Gentiles, irrespective of the State or country to which they belong." The "World Service" bulletins have, one thdme^ '.'the machiiiations of the Jewish iin- uer-world" and, the necessity of Gen¬ tiles to be aware of this Jewish con¬ spiracy..
The "Fichte Association" of Ham-^ burg, .Germany, has been very busy sending out such pamphlets as '*Hitr ler's Fight for His Country's Honor and Freedom", "Fair Play for Ger- mariy", "Adolf Hitler's Peace Mes¬ sage",' "Fratice—A' Menace to Ger¬ many's, Safety" and "Germany De¬ mands Equality"., These pamphlets are distributed not only at pro-Nazi meetings in the United States but are also mailed to ''ill-informed Gentiles". It is not generally .knoy/ni . in America that the official Nazi Party carries on., direct -propaganda in America among German-American citizens and all others who may be converted to the Nazi cause. Of course, there are branches .pf the Storm Stoopers'! in America whose members wear Nazi uniforms.'and hold secret military drill and who, when the occasion has arisen, have "protected" anti-Semitic meetuigs and heckled and attempted to break up meetings of anti-Nazi groups. It has also been called to my attentioi^ by re¬ sponsible parlies who are in a position to know that there is an organization in America of German-Americans known as the "Tscheka", a. sort, of secret German-American Black Legion, which has. for its purppse "the intimidation of those Germans and German-Ainei-i cans who do not understand, and, therefore, look un¬ favorably upon the great work that Hitler is doing for Germany and Ger¬ mans everywhere," J Also, there are the "Tcutonia So¬ ciety", the "German .Alliance", the "German-American. Econ,omy. Alli¬ ance", "German W o m a n h o o d!', Friend of the New Germany", (re¬ cently reorganized as the ''German- American League") .and numerous other groups; enjoying close alliance with the Nazi Party. Among the purposes and aims of. these groups are the following;
To persuade and to force Germans and German-American merehants to boycott Jewish merchants.
To represent and defend Nazi Ger¬ many and to spread Nazi propaganda into every section of America. ¦
To combat the boycott of German goods, which, they say, "is designed to inflict hardship and misfortune up¬ on American citizens of every-eytrac- tiou except the,Jews."
To create the proper racial pride
and combatiyeness among all persons
of .^ryan and Nordic extraction.
All of the above organizations,

¦Ni':W ; YORK (WNS) — ResciiV-1 ment of Catholic, Protestant and j Jewish leaders against Father Charles .E, Coughlin's "challenge" to'the Jews was voiced in statements issued Iicrc by Dr. Frank, Gavin, professor of Church History, at General Theologi¬ cal Seniiilat-y, Monsignor John A. Ryan of the Cathpliq , University of America, the Rcy, R. A. McGowan, 'assistant' <lircct<ir of- the Department of- Social Action of the , National Catholic Welfare/Conference, and Professor ..Louis Finkelstein, profes¬ sor, of theojogy at the Jewish Theo- logicaj ^.Seminary of .\mcrica.
Roosevelt Hits Racial and
Religious Hatreds as
Causes of War
CHAUTAUQUA, N. V., (WNS)—A frontiil attack on European racial and religious hatreds as one of thc major thrcatb to world peace was made hero by President Roosevelt in a vigurouH speech outlining his policies on foreign, affairs. With¬ out mentioning any country by name, he left m> doubt as io whom' he meant when he said: "Many eau.scs produce war. There are ancient hatreds, tur¬ bulent frontiers, the 'licgacy of forgotten, far-olT things and bat¬ tles long ago.* There are new¬ born fanaticismfj, convictions on the part of .certain peoples that they havo become the unique depositories of ultimate truth and rifirhL A dark Old World was devastated by wars between conflicting religions. A dark, inodern world faces wars be¬ tween cimflicting economic and political fanaticisms in which are intertwined race hatreds."
Professor Gavhi said.:; "It, is rather late in-history for Father Coughlin to read the Jews a lesson in 'thou shalt love .thy neighbpr as thyself.' The Jews were the first to teach that very principle. The ¦'eye for an eye' doc¬ trine was thoroughly repudiated .by the Jews' very early in ^thcir, history, much sooner, in fact, than by any other- people, for every nation, with¬ out exception, followed that barbar-. ous doctrine in the slow upward climb toward so-called civilizatioh.''
"Father. Coughlin's reference to 'an eye for an eye and a tooth' for a tooth' is bad exegesis,,, bad history and bad argument," said MtJiisignor Ryan. "It is unjust to Jews and un¬ fortunate in the political .-campaign."
Father McGowan, who has coop¬ erated with 'Jewish and Protestant bodies in Joint-action for social jus¬ tice, charged Father Coughlin with forgetting"the remarkable work for econoniic justice done by the Central Conference of American Rabbis dur¬ ing the past fifteen years," adding that"the Social Action piipartment of .the. National Catholiii' Welfare Conference has joined with them on at least a dozen occasions during that period in pleas, for social justice."
Professor. Finkelstein issued a state¬ ment reading, in - part: "Certainly Father Coughlin must have found time to read the Book of Leviticus, which is part of the Hebrew Scriptures, and in that, event he must know that the commandment 'Love thy neighbor; as thyself, is found in Leviticus xix, 18. Even one who has not ¦ read the He¬ brew Scriptures must recognize from the statement in the New Testament that Jesus, who quotes .this verse as the first of the commandments, meant that it w,as the first of the command¬ ments of God tp the Jews...Every one who has ever studied the Talmud knows that the rule 'an eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth,' was interpreted to mean that whoever has suffered a physical injury must be paid the full value of that injury.'

Dr. L. M. Birkhead
has;. been considered the best in American history—tolerance, liberty— social, political and religious-^the rights df minorities, and a decent re¬ spect for human personality, .
Therefore, it is my considered'judg¬ ment, (after a .careful survey of the gathering of the Fascist and anti- Semitic forc:ej;).:t'i.;?t Sinclair Lewis was no bpgcy-monger when he wrote "It Can't Happen. H,ere".. ..In. fact, he displayed keen; prophetic foresight and unusual social and .political in¬ sight. The things that his prognosti¬ cating and self-satisfied Vermont neighbors said could not happen in .-Vnierica are actually happening and there is serious question as to wlietHer, now that Fascism and anti ¦=¦ Semitism are. on the way,' thcy can be halted and suppressed. . \
A .general 'criticism has been made against Lewis's novel to the effect that the novelist did nothing but re¬ produce an American variety of Ger¬ man Hitlerism. If fascism (or Nazi¬ ism). comes to America, the critics say, it will be an American invention and it will not even have a Euro¬ pean iiame.
These critics have ov^r-lbgked two important facts. First, the significant truth that nian is ain imitative snimal and consequently Fascism is more or less the same thing .wherever, it has appeared.
The Fascist a;tid anti-Semitic move¬ ments in America arc imitating to a marked degree the European brands. For example, George W. Christians, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, com¬ mander-in-chief of the Crusader White Shirts, looks f6r the day When Americans wilL salute him with "Heil Christians". He is fond of referring to his White Shirts as ."Stprm Troopers". There are. many other imitations of European dictators, as we shall observe in onr survey of American Fascism. ¦
The other important fact generally over-looked is that these American. Fascists anil-anti-Semitic groups art aUMising--Euro;peau Nazi -literature in large quantities and are being i>ropa- gandizeilby and ^subsidized by numer-; ous European Nazi orgapizations, in- I eluding the Nazi Party in Germany. I niean that Nazi money is being used ; to make America Fascist and anti- Semitic
I have been amazed at the extent of the subsidies extended to propa- gand^ for Fascism and anti-Semitism ill the United States. Anyone who in¬ vestigates the matter will be likewise astounded. It is not difficult to dis¬ cover the activities of the nuhierous organizations and individuals which are carrying on for a reproduction in America of all that has happened in Europe under European dictatorships. First of all there are the organiza¬ tions and groups which are function¬ ing directly from Germany, Recently the "Peoples League fpr Germanism in Foreign Lands" (or, as it is fre¬ quently referred to in . the press.
"League of German^. Abroad") has been receiving wide publicity^ This 'organization, is trying desperately to promote Naziism aiiion^ the more than 10,00l),000 Germans who livein foreign lands; It- operates from Ber¬ lin and has been particularly.active in its efforts to propagandize the Ger¬ man population of 9,000,000 souls in America^ ,,It furnishes the most vi¬ cious sort pf. anti-Semitic "facts and figures" to American groups which are preaching, hatred of the Jews, For example, the Edmondsoh Economic Service, the ' Right Cause Publishing Company and the Defenders, of the Ciiristian Faith are among the Ameri¬ can beneficiaries of the "League of Germans Abroad".
The German Import. Book Com¬ pany. (27 Park' Place, New York City) imiwrta and distributes among the German-speaking population boojt^ of tlie anti-Semitic variety. My visit to tlie offices and store-rooms of this company convinced ¦ me of ¦ its very close Nazi connections.
The "World Service'' bulletins arc sent out regularly from Erfurt, Ger¬ many, to anti-Jewish'groupsand pub¬ lications. These bulletins are a fa¬ miliar sight to apyone who makes the rounds 'of American Fascist,groups. Thcy are published in three langiiages and do nptconcealthe fact that they seek nbt profits but rather the "en¬ lightenment of iil-infbrmed Gentiles, irrespective of the State or country to which they belong." The "World Service" bulletins have, one thdme^ '.'the machiiiations of the Jewish iin- uer-world" and, the necessity of Gen¬ tiles to be aware of this Jewish con¬ spiracy..
The "Fichte Association" of Ham-^ burg, .Germany, has been very busy sending out such pamphlets as '*Hitr ler's Fight for His Country's Honor and Freedom", "Fair Play for Ger- mariy", "Adolf Hitler's Peace Mes¬ sage",' "Fratice—A' Menace to Ger¬ many's, Safety" and "Germany De¬ mands Equality"., These pamphlets are distributed not only at pro-Nazi meetings in the United States but are also mailed to ''ill-informed Gentiles". It is not generally .knoy/ni . in America that the official Nazi Party carries on., direct -propaganda in America among German-American citizens and all others who may be converted to the Nazi cause. Of course, there are branches .pf the Storm Stoopers'! in America whose members wear Nazi uniforms.'and hold secret military drill and who, when the occasion has arisen, have "protected" anti-Semitic meetuigs and heckled and attempted to break up meetings of anti-Nazi groups. It has also been called to my attentioi^ by re¬ sponsible parlies who are in a position to know that there is an organization in America of German-Americans known as the "Tscheka", a. sort, of secret German-American Black Legion, which has. for its purppse "the intimidation of those Germans and German-Ainei-i cans who do not understand, and, therefore, look un¬ favorably upon the great work that Hitler is doing for Germany and Ger¬ mans everywhere," J Also, there are the "Tcutonia So¬ ciety", the "German .Alliance", the "German-American. Econ,omy. Alli¬ ance", "German W o m a n h o o d!', Friend of the New Germany", (re¬ cently reorganized as the ''German- American League") .and numerous other groups; enjoying close alliance with the Nazi Party. Among the purposes and aims of. these groups are the following;
To persuade and to force Germans and German-American merehants to boycott Jewish merchants.
To represent and defend Nazi Ger¬ many and to spread Nazi propaganda into every section of America. ¦
To combat the boycott of German goods, which, they say, "is designed to inflict hardship and misfortune up¬ on American citizens of every-eytrac- tiou except the,Jews."
To create the proper racial pride
and combatiyeness among all persons
of .^ryan and Nordic extraction.
All of the above organizations,

¦Ni':W ; YORK (WNS) — ResciiV-1 ment of Catholic, Protestant and j Jewish leaders against Father Charles .E, Coughlin's "challenge" to'the Jews was voiced in statements issued Iicrc by Dr. Frank, Gavin, professor of Church History, at General Theologi¬ cal Seniiilat-y, Monsignor John A. Ryan of the Cathpliq , University of America, the Rcy, R. A. McGowan, 'assistant' doubt as io whom' he meant when he said: "Many eau.scs produce war. There are ancient hatreds, tur¬ bulent frontiers, the 'licgacy of forgotten, far-olT things and bat¬ tles long ago.* There are new¬ born fanaticismfj, convictions on the part of .certain peoples that they havo become the unique depositories of ultimate truth and rifirhL A dark Old World was devastated by wars between conflicting religions. A dark, inodern world faces wars be¬ tween cimflicting economic and political fanaticisms in which are intertwined race hatreds."
Professor Gavhi said.:; "It, is rather late in-history for Father Coughlin to read the Jews a lesson in 'thou shalt love .thy neighbpr as thyself.' The Jews were the first to teach that very principle. The ¦'eye for an eye' doc¬ trine was thoroughly repudiated .by the Jews' very early in ^thcir, history, much sooner, in fact, than by any other- people, for every nation, with¬ out exception, followed that barbar-. ous doctrine in the slow upward climb toward so-called civilizatioh.''
"Father. Coughlin's reference to 'an eye for an eye and a tooth' for a tooth' is bad exegesis,,, bad history and bad argument," said MtJiisignor Ryan. "It is unjust to Jews and un¬ fortunate in the political .-campaign."
Father McGowan, who has coop¬ erated with 'Jewish and Protestant bodies in Joint-action for social jus¬ tice, charged Father Coughlin with forgetting"the remarkable work for econoniic justice done by the Central Conference of American Rabbis dur¬ ing the past fifteen years," adding that"the Social Action piipartment of .the. National Catholiii' Welfare Conference has joined with them on at least a dozen occasions during that period in pleas, for social justice."
Professor. Finkelstein issued a state¬ ment reading, in - part: "Certainly Father Coughlin must have found time to read the Book of Leviticus, which is part of the Hebrew Scriptures, and in that, event he must know that the commandment 'Love thy neighbor; as thyself, is found in Leviticus xix, 18. Even one who has not ¦ read the He¬ brew Scriptures must recognize from the statement in the New Testament that Jesus, who quotes .this verse as the first of the commandments, meant that it w,as the first of the command¬ ments of God tp the Jews...Every one who has ever studied the Talmud knows that the rule 'an eye for eye, and a tooth for a tooth,' was interpreted to mean that whoever has suffered a physical injury must be paid the full value of that injury.'
